[Steppes] sleeve question

[Chiara]

My Italian ren has them sewn on directly to the pieces that are tying to
each other.

If you decide on grommets have your servent use flat rings (washers) on top
of the hole and cover them with embroidery floss

I can digitize some photos of what mine look like for you if you need.
Friday or so ...

: Hello!
: My servant is working on my 12th night dress and she has a question on
: finishing the sleeves.  The dress is in the Itialian style with the
sleeves
: that are supposed to tie (?) on.  There is her question.  How does she get
: them to stay on?  I really don't like the look of grommets all over the
: sleeves, but how else does she do it?  Does she use string or ribbon or
: what to tie them?  She has done nothing yet.  The sleeves are in a
lambchop
: shape and need to attach to themselves to form the arm hole of the sleeve
: and attach to the top of shoulder part of the bodice as well.  She has
: worked really hard on this dress and she REALLY doesn't want to screw up
: the finishing.   Please remember that my servant is a self taught
: seamstress and doesn't speak "sew".  She can sit for hours and do hand
work
: if that is what is required.  Poor thing, I might give her a couple of
: hours off tomorrow with the Holiday and all.
: Thank you for your help!
